This Is MS Multiple Sclerosis Knowledge & Support Community

thank you all. As it turns out, she is hospitalized yet again! This time for some nasty pressure sores that the home health nurse(s) had been treating. The Doctor there has given her magnesium supplements, unknown if it was for the spasms or what. So, now she looks forward to maybe 4 months of inpat...

To make a long story short, my wife has had MS for at least 13 years. She has suffered through many exacerbations and resulting solumedrol treatments. As her neuro says "She is a very sick woman with a great many lesions". My problem is that she is currently in the condition of needing car...
